Organism: Coxiella burnetii
NCBI#:NP_005902.1
Target: S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (EC 2.5.1.6)
Protein ID: 289455

Disease information:
Q fever is a bacterial disease that is caused by Coxiella brunetti. This disease is more abundant in animals, but Q fever has to potential to be used as biological warfare. It is an airborne that is contacted mainly by being in the environment of an affected animal. The symptoms vary to being flu like or it can be chronic and feel like hepatitis.

Essentiality of this protein:
S-adenosylmethionine synthetase plays an essential role in metabolism in organisms. It catalyzes synthesis reactions. The formation is from methionine and ATP. The enzyme consists of four subunits and there are two active sites on the protein. Both S-adenosylmethionine and triphosphate are formed with the protein.

Complex of protein:
S-adenosylmethionine synthetase is an enzyme in Coxiella burnetii that has four subunits. It synethesises S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), pyrophosphate (PPi), and orthophosphate (Pi) from ATP and L-methionine.
